when will daniel hughes get a game for melbourne?

ย 

^ LOL

Well, I'm a big fan of Hughes and wanted him to get a game all year. Thought he deserved to be elevated ahead of McKenzie IMHO.

I have a quick question though. Being rookie drafted for a second time at the end of last season (was on RL in 06, 07, delisted 08, then re-drafted 09) would he have been offered the 2-year contract all new rookies get, or is it possible he only got 1 year because it was his second stint on our RL?

Because of his year off the list, does he effectively become a new rookie draftee again? Here's hoping he got two, because i'd really like to see him get a game next year.

The way it works is if you're a rookie you get a 1 year contract. The club has the option at the end of that year to extend that to a 2nd year, however you can also be delisted... The only time you're guaranteed a 2 year contract as a rookie is if you've moved from interstate. Like Jake Spencer, he would've been guaranteed two years because he moved to Melbourne from Queensland...

So essentially, it's up to the club if they want to keep him on another year. Given this supposed weak draft, I really hope we hold onto him and keep him on for next season...

I must confess that I hope that none of our rookies get a game next year because that would mean a few things

1. We were still having problems with injuries - surely this will not happen again next year

2. The players on the senior list have not developed as hoped

3. We are not winning enough games to be competitive.

This last 3 years has surreptitiously changed our ideas of how a season runs I.E. a good season is a settled season - look at any of the top teams, they tend to get through the year with minimal lineup changes. That is what I want from our team. The idea that we get through the year having called upon maybe 28 - 30 players maximum means that we have played well, stayed injury free and created genuine pressure on the list for selection. Go Dees!!!!


Not necessaraly Glen, look at Davey, he was a rookie and the reason he was promoted is becaus ehe turned to be 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times better than they thought and could easily cope with AFL football.

Hmm, yes, I thought of him as I typed but to be fair, he burst on the scene at the start of the season and never looked back. I guess that I am thinking of the situation that we have been in lately where we have effectively been gifting games to players because there was simply no one else to pick. Give me as many Flashes as you can; I like em, I like em!!

Listen up close children.

This is "inside" info, woohoo go me.

The word I got on Hughes is that as he was mature aged, the AFL gave us permission to re-rookie him at the end of the first year ONLY if he hadn't played a game.

If we played him, we would have had to promote him or let him go. Not giving him a cheap game at the end of the year let us keep him for an extra year for free.

(and yes, I'm aware it's not really "inside" info ;))

Thanks Mr.45Hotgod16, that sure does make me feel better.

Now I can go off to Mr Henderson's Geography class and stop effing around on my iPhone...

A mate of mine spoke to Danny and he (Danny)said the club was keen on keeping him and that he is part of the plan.... ;)

:lol: ....3 votes rpfc.

Thanks for that update 45h16.

Not sure if these are accurate or not but:

Stats off the VFL website... he played 12 senior games at Casey this year. Kicking 20 goals 5 behinds (the 5 behinds coming when he kicked 1 goal 5 vs Box Hill in May).

No big bags at all, mpst he kicked was 3 goals.

If you cross your eyes you can definitely see Judd eye gouging.

Cheers for that.

Have I missed something on this thread? What planet are you guys on? Surely it's not the Daniel Hughes planet.

Yes, you have missed something.

Yes, you have missed something.

On this thread?

On this thread?

Yeah, the kid with the iPhone put a few thousand 38's on here because, apparently, that number is now metaphysically tied to an attractive bloke but average footballer - Daniel Hughes.

My quote about it being machine code was also removed, it was real funny, honest.

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
